Chapter 181
Seeing Cao Shaotian's high-spirited appearance, Zhao Longyuan couldn't help being quite proud when he thought of how he was running around and making great contributions.

He is also ready to continue to improve his strength, become the best master in the world, and help Cao Shaotian conquer all directions.

At this moment, Cao Shaotian suddenly said: "General Xiahou, General Ximen, you have helped me take back the country and made great contributions. I will not treat you badly."

As he spoke, he asked the eunuch to take down the imperial decree he had prepared and read it out.

Xiahou Wuji was named the general of the country, with a first-class official position, leading 60 troops, and continued to guard Plateau City.

Ximenyou was named the Great General of the National Guard, the second-rank official, with 50 soldiers, and continued to guard Xiliang City.

Xiahou Wuji was already so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and kept saying: "The last general is in command, thank you, Your Majesty, long live my Emperor!"

Ximen You didn't have much joy, he just said calmly: "The last general is in command, thank you, Your Majesty."

Cao Shaotian frowned and asked, "General Ximen, why are you like this? Are you dissatisfied with my arrangement?"

Ximen You: "Your Majesty's words are serious. In the end, the general thought of the West Chu Kingdom. The Emperor is in charge personally. It is my luck for Donghua Kingdom, but the West Chu Kingdom will not sit idly by, and they will attack with their troops in a short time. "

Cao Shaotian nodded: "What General Ximen said is true. I have thought about it too. However, with the help of two generals, I believe that the Western Chu Kingdom will definitely not get any benefits."

Ximen You said calmly: "The final general is willing to serve the country with death, and will never give up."

Every word he spoke was sonorous and powerful.

Xiahou Wuji laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, the last general thinks that if he wants to deal with the Western Chu Kingdom, he needs to do four things."

Cao Shaotian: "General Xiahou, please tell me the truth."

Xiahou Wuji: "First, the Western Chu State has an army of 200 million. If you want to defeat it, it will not be an overnight effort. You need to be prepared for a war of attrition. Second, the Western Chu State has seven famous generals, all of whom are outstanding in strength. , should not be underestimated, only by eliminating these seven people will increase the odds of winning."

"Thirdly, the food and gold and silver of Western Chu State are not as good as ours. Our country can take advantage of this advantage to drag down Western Chu State. Fourthly, Western Chu State's military strength is strong. Our country needs to focus on defense and not attack at will."

Ximen You suddenly retorted: "General Xiahou, I agree with the first three points you said, but I think the fourth point is inappropriate. The Western Chu Kingdom has a very strong military force, and it is only for defense. I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our country."

"The last general thought that he should lead a surprise army to go deep into the territory of the Western Chu Kingdom, attack the Western Chu King's City, and kill the Western Chu Emperor. In this way, great things can be accomplished."

Xiahou Wuji asked back: "However, if the army goes deep alone, what if the food and grass are cut off and surrounded by the enemy? Isn't it a dead end?"

Ximen You: "Don't worry, General Xiahou, since it is a surprise army, it is natural to send troops in places where the enemy does not expect. Although it is difficult and dangerous, it can achieve its goal."

Cao Shaotian was excited when he heard this and couldn't help but nodded: "The two generals said it well. I'm very relieved."

Xiahou Wuji cupped his hands and said, "Please make a decision, Your Majesty."

Cao Shaotian: "Let's do this. First, we will deploy defenses as General Xiahou said, and find a way to engage in a war of attrition with the Western Chu State, using our country's national power to bring it down."

"If it doesn't work, use General Ximen's strategy. General Ximen will lead an army of 10 people to go deep into the territory of the Western Chu Kingdom and directly capture the King City of Western Chu."

Neither Xiahou Wuji nor Ximenyou objected: "The emperor is wise!"

Zhao Longyuan was listening, and his mind was full of thoughts.

After finishing speaking, Xiahou Wuji and Ximenyou withdrew.

Cao Shaotian also came to the study to have a secret meeting with Zhao Longyuan and Cao Lingyu.

He heard him ask: "Zhao Longyuan, what happened before, in your opinion, what should we do?"

Zhao Longyuan: "Your Majesty, what the two generals said is correct, but from the humble point of view, the decision should be made according to the personalities and opinions of the seven famous generals and counselors in the Western Chu Kingdom."

"After all, what General Ximen thought of may not be unexpected to the other party. Only when it is confirmed that the other party is wrong, the surprise soldier will play the greatest role."

Cao Shaotian smiled: "You're right, I didn't think of this level either, the thoughts of these seven famous generals and the counselors of the Western Chu Kingdom are indeed very important."

"When the time comes, I will send you to infiltrate the Western Chu Kingdom to investigate carefully and determine their true purpose."

Zhao Longyuan: "Please rest assured, the emperor, this matter is covered by the humble job."

Cao Shaotian shifted his gaze to Cao Lingyu again: "Little sister, now is the time to reveal your identity, what do you want?"

Cao Lingyu: "Brother Emperor, of course, but I have two conditions."

Cao Shaotian: "Sister, please tell me."

Cao Lingyu: "First, restore my mother's innocence, and don't let the world think that she has harmed others. Second, kill the queen mother and avenge my mother."

Cao Shaotian fell silent, as if he was thinking about something.

Zhao Longyuan also stood aside without saying a word.

He knew that at this time, silence was the best choice.

After a while, Cao Shaotian said: "Restore your mother's reputation, I can do it, as for killing the Queen Mother, this matter can only be left to Zhao Longyuan."

Zhao Longyuan was a little surprised: "What does the emperor want me to do?"

Cao Shaotian: "A cup of poisoned wine is enough."

Zhao Longyuan: "It seems that the emperor wants to leave a whole body for the queen mother."

Cao Shaotian: "After all, we used to be a family. Although the queen mother used me in every possible way, and even thought about abolishing me and setting up a new monarch, but for the sake of past affection, I am willing to give her face."

Zhao Longyuan cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

As he spoke, Cao Shaotian ordered the eunuchs to prepare a jug of poisoned wine, put it in a golden jug, and put it on a tray with a golden cup beside it.

Zhao Longyuan took the tray, his eyes changed slightly: "Your Majesty, then I will do it."

Cao Shaotian: "Go, little sister, you stay here with me."

Cao Lingyu nodded: "Okay."

Even though she said so, her eyes were fixed on Zhao Longyuan.

Of course Zhao Longyuan knew what Cao Lingyu was thinking, so he didn't say much, and walked out as a eunuch with the tray in his arms.

Eunuch An led the way for him, and walked all the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Before he knew it, Zhao Longyuan came to the gate of the main hall.

I saw that the gate here was closed tightly, and there were countless big inner guards guarding it.

Eunuch An said: "The emperor ordered us to toast the queen mother, please get out of the way."

The Ouchi guards immediately understood what Eunuch An meant, and they all cupped their hands: "Yes."

With that said, they moved out of the way.

Eunuch An opened the door and let Zhao Longyuan walk in.

I saw the queen mother sitting there with disheveled hair and slack eyes.

Eunuch An smiled and said, "Queen Mother, this old slave is here to see you."

The queen mother hurriedly asked: "Did the emperor change his mind?"

Eunuch An: "Queen Mother, the Emperor invites you to drink, drink first and then talk."

The Empress Dowager looked at the tray in Zhao Longyuan's hand, she was startled at first, then she stood up and staggered a few steps: "Haha, the emperor actually gave me wine."

The laughter was so sad that Zhao Longyuan couldn't bear it.

But when he thought of what the Queen Mother had done before, he changed his mind again.

Eunuch An: "Queen Mother, please drink up the wine, the old slave will be easy to deal with."

The Empress Dowager was unwilling, she shook her head and said, "Let me drink alcohol? Wishful thinking! I won't drink even if I die!"
